I am taking an online course on Analytics Modeling from Georgia Tech. The introductory section included a link to a list of core Netiquette Rules, which I find pretty useful.

In my experience, there are basically two kind of people: those who follow those rules due to their personality, and those - for the same reason - who ignore them. So they are at best a one-time reminder. I liked number one and two. It's too easy to forget that there are real life persons behind the texts we read, especially as our training to read and to speak is very different: textbooks don't care what you tell them during the reading and in a dialogue we usually have 90% more information from body language, appearance, situation etc. etc.

I ignored this one. It doesn't pay off.berkeman said:So, um, what are you saying here? Did I mess up again?
I once received a phone call and the person greeted with as-salāmu alaykum. I responded, I wouldn't understand him and if he couldn't answer in my language, which I had to frequently repeat, because what he thought to be my language actually wasn't. Long story short, he ended with a curse which had been surprisingly well formulated in my language.
You may ignore number nine.

Yes, that's what I've meant by the first category. I don't think there are many people who change their behavior due to some written rules. Either they don't really need to read them (but often do), and the others.Nugatory said:

Before anyone is allowed to connect to the internet they should be forced to read every word of that lolscottdave said:
How about Rule 5: Make yourself look good online? In other words: ". . . spelling and grammar do count."
I'd say I am an A with spelling. Probably a B- on grammar, though. I could probably use some refresher in grammar, especially now that I have a child in Middle School.

It isn't netiquette in this exact context per say but, I would include something to the effect that what you write never disappears. 'Private' emails can be forwarded to people that you never thought would see them. I have seen others burned badly by that one a few times.

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online
Psh. As of this point, about a horde of 100 people must hate and dislike me. When I said that, someone replied: "Only 100? Those are noob numbers."
And they disliked my post to help me raise the bar.
